Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

New ZealandWe stayed for a week and thought we should have had a clean in that time although there was clean towels and toilet paper available. I have stayed here before. Also the room had some maintenance issues which didn’t effect our stay but I reported it to the staff who seemed a bit disinterested in but would have affected the building. Such as sensor lights not turning off so on 24/7
Good location in a safe area. Close to the tube station. Good restaurants nearby

United KingdomOdd switching arrangement of bedside lights, so one side of the bed could not turn on their bedside light in the night, since all controlled by the other side! The bathroom sink plug would not stay down which made face washing difficult. The step down near the bed was hard to see and a potential hazard - a white line or brass plate on it (like in the downstairs lounge) would be a good idea. More hangers would have been nice, not much clothes storage apart from hanging. A longer stay with more clothes might have been tricky. Coat hooks on the expansive wall would have helped too. Adding some cereal bowls with muesli etc would have completed the breakfast offering.
Well placed for museums and Royal Albert Hall. Very comfortable bed, very clean with a nice smell, plenty of very helpful staff. They placed free mini fridge in our room on request. The breakfast food was high quality and lovely, with freshly squeezed organs juice and. Sour dough bread.

United KingdomThe bedroom door keyboard system wasn’t working, which was a bit of an irritant as we had to get staff members to open our room. However the guy on reception sorted it out and it appeared to be a system problem.
Breakfast was very good and varied. The first time I’ve had hummus as a breakfast option.

NetherlandsOnly had a giant rainshower so get ready to wash your hair every day and perform some modern dance in order to clean your privates. I feel like this is a given in London but keep in mind that even if you use the elevator, there are still little sets of 2 or 3 steps to climb throughout.
Didn't notice when booking but this is a self check-in hotel that charges extra for optinional housekeeping. We prefer minimum contact but if you're looking for a decadent, pampering experience; this is not that. Staff at the desk seemed very helpful to other guests though. And really good breakfast!

AustraliaThe staff were very nice but basically just directed you to self check in, self luggage storage, self serve breakfast which is fine and I guess that’s how they keep their costs down.
Great location, a short walk from South Kensington tube station which is on the Piccadilly line so perfect for travel to Heathrow. The room was huge by London standards and modern and comfortable.

United StatesStandard room having closet, safe and room for our suitcases when we arrived.
Hotel location is good. We were at room 301 first that was awful room and substandard for a hotel. We could not use the toilet that was about 8” higher than a normal toilet. We had to use the toilet in the basement. Then we were moved to room 1 that was much better.

NetherlandsI was bombarded by Sonder for months with text messages and emails asking me to sign up to get a check in code. Their website was extremely temperamental and it took many attempts to finally succeed in signing up. There is no housekeeping service in the hotel, which is strange for a non-budget hotel like this.
The location is excellent, close to museums and South Kensington station as well as Chelsea attractions. The staff are friendly, rooms nice and clean and the breakfast pastries very nice.
